Implementing mental health advice in an Asian household is just so bs. It& #39;s so very difficult to practice the advice given to you. I read a post on setting boundaries in a family but hi, has anyone tried doing that. Jootiyan parni hain if you try being disrespectful like this.

It& #39;s so, so great that desis are venturing out into mental health and acknowledging that we& #39;re just as worthy of help and it& #39;s okay to get some, but I definitely think that advice like this is more of a barrier than a solution because in a lot of instances, it& #39;s just not doable

Continuing with the example, this in turn, I think, makes the person who has to set boundaries feel all the more suffocated & anxious because now they KNOW what they should be doing, but don& #39;t have a way of safely/appropriately performing the action without negative consequences

Current mental health practices are tailored to the masses of a certain background, colour and family setup. It& #39;s not very useful or applicable for desis but we& #39;re not ready to have that conversation yet.
